The most appalling part of all this is the number of people in this country who actually voted for him for President! He's an international embarrassment.

Lurch will always be remembered for what he is, and not what he ment to say.

"The Kyoto Treaty was flawed. I was in Kyoto and I was part of that. ... "[The Kyoto agreement] doesn't ask enough of developing nations, the nations that are going to be producing much greater emissions and which we need to get on the right course now through technology transfer."
-John Kerry - THEN

""When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto ...we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy."
John Kerry - Now

Well, if there is anyone who ought to know about duplicity and hypocrisy...

I've run out of words to describe him, now only can say how I feel when I see or hear his name! I want to PUKE!

[guitfiddlist]

So it was a 95-0 Senate vote against the Kyoto treaty. Seems to me that Kerry has only two ways to spin this. Either he comes clean and admits he was one of the 95 voting against, or he was the "Zero" that voted for it.

If anything, he is over qualified.

The Left is ugly because at their core, they hate America. John F. Kerry has hated America ever since he left Vietnam. His denunciations of his country and its place in history haven't changed since he smeared his own troops at the infamous Senate committee hearing in 1971. This is who these people really are when they take off their "moderate" mask that they wear to win elections in this country.

intellectual laziness

That and a smug sense of entitlement pretty much says it all about John F'uggly Kerry.

[Tolik]

...What then drives John Kerry to say such ugly things?

Kerry must still hurt over his recent loss to the supposedly less sophisticated George Bush. And he and other leftist elites apparently must remind their kindred European counterparts that there are still refined Americans like themselves who are not flag-waving Christians from Texas.

But, mostly, it is intellectual laziness. It is always easier to cite America's flaws to applause than to take the time to explain the nature of its rare morality to catcalls. In truth, the United States has never been richer or more generous. Its military is preeminent, protects vulnerable allies and fights extremism worldwide. Immigrants risk their lives to reach our shores.

But we are in a deep spiritual crisis when a recent candidate for our presidency either cannot, or will not, patiently explain that to the world. Instead, Sen. Kerry, the new ugly American abroad, glibly misleads a global audience that his own America is a "pariah" -- a verdict that is as embarrassing to us as it is stupid for him.

Wake up Massachusetts.

And to those who voted for this idiot in '04, I hope you've learned SOMETHING! Thanking my lucky stars that the majority didn't let this utter travesty come to pass.
